Pretty interesting...
Meh still no offcial word about January update?
Maybe I'll get this game today or tomorrow.

Colin Johansen posted that there will be a "blog post in about a week or so that summarizes the high level plan for the first 6 months of 2013 for GW2. Then each of the individual releases for January, February, etc. will have their own release pages on our website, as well as blog posts describing specific important new features where appropriate. More info coming in about a week once it’s all edited and localized!"

Exotic is the top level of gear at the moment (there will be another level of gear called Ascended but the armor and weapons haven't been put in yet). So every level 80 exotic piece of armor will have the same amount of stats, just that they will have different allocations like condition damage, power, precision, etcetera.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm planing to buy the vigial order armor when i ding 80 and then farm dungeons for the twilight arbor armor. Is this possible or have i missed something?

Unless you're doing it for the looks, I'd suggest buying the rare crafted gear from the Trading Post instead. It'll generally be cheaper, and you have more choice on the stat distribution that you want.

It's not a big holiday, but there's a lot of fluff you can add for it. In fact, as I recall WoW had a much bigger 'to do' with the annual V-Day event than they did for Easter (Noblegarden) for years.

Mostly I just keep wondering when to use my BL keys. :P I read somewhere that the permanent recustomization kits were either 1) only during Wintersday or 2) had their drop chances doubled during Wintersday. So, not sure if I should bother using them when there's not some kind of event happening since most of the stuff that comes out of them is meh.
